JF-17 vs Mirage F-1 ASTRAC

Tempest brought this up in the Argentine thread but its worth of a separate one..

would the Mirage F-1 ASTRACT actually be a better option for air forces on a budget looking for a single seat fighter?

it would give it:
RDY3 radar,
AASM,
Damocles pod,
MICA for BVR
Exocet
new electronic suite

certain capabilities lacking in the current JF-17. perhaps cheaper to operate too?
